What better way to Remember or Honor someone than to donate a book or collection of books in their honor. The best way to make this type of donation is with a check. The library staff will assist in the selection and ordering of books or other library materials. A dedication sticker is attached to the material and the material will be housed in the library location of your choice. Materials donated in this way must meet library selection guidelines. Individual donations may be made at any branch library. For large donations arrangements may be made through the Administrative Office.

Donations to the Cobb County Public Library Cobb County Public Library is pleased to accept all donations of books and other materials. To donate books and other items, you may drop them off at any branch during regular library hours. Donations at the Central Library should be taken to the loading dock in the rear of the library, Monday – Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. After 4:00 you may drop your donations off at the main entrance of the Central Library. You will receive a receipt for the number and type of items that you donate. You can get a tax deduction for your donation; however, determining the amount you can deduct is your responsibility. Donated materials not appropriate for the collection are placed in the semi-annual Friends of the Library book sale. Proceeds are used to buy new materials for all Cobb County libraries. Remember, all donations become the property of the Library when they are received. Once donated books are given to the Library, it is up to the discretion of the Library which items will be put into circulation. Cobb County Public Library gratefully accepts library related materials. This includes: · Books (hardback or paperback, fiction or non-fiction) · Compact discs · DVD’s · Comic books & graphic novels · VHS and cassette tapes · Magazines · Vinyl records · Encyclopedia sets · Computer software and manuals (we can not accept computers) If you have a large number of books you would like to donate, please call in advance (770-528-2364) to see if we can handle the donation on any particular day. All donations should be packed in boxes. We can not accept donations that are not in boxes and we are not able to exchange boxes (please put your donations in boxes that they can remain in).
